QBasic Help
Okay... I have created a program and now I want to turn it into an executable. So what I assumed was that I had to go to File and then to save-as and from there name it whatever.EXE.
That works fine until I try to run the program... If I just double click on it I get a message about it not being a valid Win32 Application. If I open it in the DOS prompt it runs but I just get a bunch of garbage on the screen. Also the program runs fine when I run it within QBasic. So what am I doing wrong? |

Hi TheJackal,
You have to compile the program to make it into an EXE, not just save it, a task which the free version of QBasic cannot do. You'll need to find a copy of QBasic 4.5 (if I remember correctly) to do that. |

Oh.
I just assumed that QBasic would come with a compiler like Visual Basic. You wouldn't know where I could get a copy of QBasic 4.5 would you? |

I am researching it now. QBASIC was from the OLD DAYS. Bundled compilers...NEVER! HA HA
